Quick Auctions 3

Quick Auctions is an auction tool to help speed up auctioning large quantities of items, especially canceling. While primarily Quick Auctions is built for large quantities of items, it can work fine for a few auctions as well. A bit of tweaking is required to get optimal settings, but it is very flexible and smart enough that you can use it for more than just mindlessly undercutting auctions by 1 copper every time. Summary window and craft queues are included so you do not have to memorize every item and quantity you need. Shows total materials required to craft as well as allowing you to click from the craft queue to craft so no searching through everything.

Slash command: /qa (/quickauctions)

Donations
A lot of time went into Quick Auctions, donations are appreciated but not necessary. And it's cheaper than buying gold while not being against the ToS!

Groups
Groups are how you manage what items should be managed by Quick Auctions. You can set auction settings either as a default, or per group giving you flexibility over everything without having to duplicate your settings 50 times. There are no limits to how many items can be grouped, see the configuration in /qa config to set them up.

Mail
Includes a timer in the top left of the mailbox indicating how much time before new mail data becomes available, and if you are not using Postal then QA provides its own auto looting for mail. The auto looter will work with the timer on the mailbox cache so it will loot everything, wait until new mail is available and then keep looting.

Auto mailing can now be done per item or per group to any character you want. For example, you can setup your banker to send uncut gems to your jeweler and you can setup your jeweler to send cut gems to your banker. The auto mailer is intelligent in when it sends mail off, and works best when using QA mail looter. If you are trying to loot herbs from your mailbox while auto mailing them to your scribe, it will send mail off whenever it sees your inventory is full. Basically, if you have 4 open slots it will auto mail/loot with only 4 slots, no more clearing out your bags to loot mail anymore!

General options

Smart undercutting - Instead of always using the undercut value, it will round it to the nearest gold piece if possible (10g99s -> 10g, 5g -> 5g - undercut price)

Smart cancel - Cancels auctions a bit smarter than usual, will cancel an item if you can re list it at a higher price and won't cancel it if items are below the threshold

Cancel with bid - Lets you choose if you want to cancel auctions with bids on them

Post cap - How many of an item can be up at any one time (If you are undercut this number is reset)

Post time - How long to post an auction

Undercut - How much to undercut by

Bid percent - How much bid should be set to as a percentage of buyout

Threshold - Cap on how low an auction can go, if it'll be posted below the threshold price it won't be posted

Per auction - How many items to post per an auction

Fallback - If no other auctions are up, how much should it list an item for

Fallback cap - How high above the fallback an item can go, helps prevent posting a single Frostweave Cloth at 100g if someone sets it at an extraordinary price

Auto fallback - If the market price is below your thresold, QA will automatically post it at the fallback price

Maximum price gap - How much of a price difference is allowed between the lowest and second lowest items before QA undercuts the second lowest, this will also cancel your auctions if the price gap gets too high

Ignore stacks over - Allows you to ignore any auctions with a stack above X when determining price, useful if you want to post against the market price of 1 Abyss Crystal rather than the market price of posting 20 at once

What changed between 2 and 3?
While the configuration in QA2 was an improvement over the original QA, it still wasn't good enough. QA3 has a rewritten configuration and should be much easier for people to understand and use without having to learn to use QA through trial and error.

Scan speed has been increased quite a bit again and has been tightened up to reduce the chance of conflicts. In previous versions, QA would Query -> Wait 0.50 seconds -> Check Data -> Either parse it or wait 0.50 seconds, this made sure that whenever auctions were scanned all data was available including who posted them. The problem is, most of this data becomes available instantly after your initial 1-3 seconds. In 3 it's been changed: Query -> Check Data -> Wait 0.50 Seconds -> Parse or wait 0.50 seconds. Best case this means you will save 0.50 seconds per query (50 seconds/100 items), and worse case you won't see any speed increase.

Mail has been improved to make life easier for people, both a mail scrapper and a smarter mail sender were added. See the mail section above for more information.

Setting scope was improved, most basic options in QA including group settings have been moved to the global profile while server/faction specific settings can still be changed per profile. Letting you setup different profiles of how QA should handle different groups, without having to duplicate all of your group list over and over.
QA3 isn't done yet, and I have more planned still like summary improvements and easy buying of items.

Shadowed:
- Fix positioning of tradeskill frame
- Fixes for 4.3
- Fix tradeskill button positioning
- Should make canceling work again with hardware events
- Make open all work again, add posting back with necessary hardware event work, some initial work on canceling
- Initial conversions to WoWAce, nothing should actually work yet

IE: If there is no competition on this item, set the price to x. If there is competition, I want to undercut them, starting at a specific fallback value.

Lets use the netherweave bag example again, with values that don't exist in the mod

Undercut fallback: 6g99s99c
Monopolist fallback: 12g99s99c

In the presence of competition with higher prices than I have, I would post the bags at 6g99s99c. If they were to undercut me, I could then cancel/relist at a lower price according to the existing undercut value. However, if nobody else were posting bags, it would then post the bags at 12g99s99c. I'd enjoy a little more income in the absence of competition, and once people go "oh crap" and start undercutting me, with one cancel/relist, I automatically undercut them, starting at my secondary fallback value - 6g99s99c.

Is there a way to to over ride the post cap slider? I mean right now it goes from 1 to 4 but how about if I only want to post 3 of each of some items ? Is there a way to do that or am I stuck with the amounts on the slider?

Originally posted by OneDeadlyBum I'm not sure I fully understand what you are asking.

The red X next to an item tells you that you aren't able to craft it.

On the far right side of the item list, a price is shown. They are listed from highest to lowest price. If an item is not being sold on the AH, it will appear at the bottom of the list, in lieu of a price will be ----

Does that answer your question(s)?

Actually I believe any items at the bottom are items that QA has seen on the AH before but doesn't see now. What he wants is it to also show any items that you can make that it's never seen before on the AH.

I run both QA2 and Auctioneer. My question is when i go to the auctions page is there a way to see the "original" way the screen looked so I can see what has sold and what has bids on it? All I see now if the QA2 status and print outs.

napouser, I would also like to be able to post at the fallback price either by a switch or like you want if it's below threshold. I have a modded post file to do this but I have to log off and change the file so it will post everything at the fallback price.

I have QA2 set to sell netherweave bags. My threshold is set to 5g49s99c, since anything below that point I don't consider worth my time. However, if somebody else is posting below that price, QA2 doesn't list anything. Since netherweave bags are such a high volume item, and I know for a fact that I don't have to undercut the competition to make a sale on this product, it would be awesome if I could set it to post it anyways at a price separate from the threshold and fallback values. That way, customers buy out my competition, eventually I have the lowest priced bags on the market and I still get a sale.

Originally posted by Shadowed Just double checked, latest version works fine for post cap. Keep in mind post cap will be "reset" if you are undercut.

confirmed as well, no problems.

bubblebop, please check your settings.

3d time i post this and no respond whatsover
is this such a hard thing to do?? seriusly its so annoying to waste 2 hours every 2 days for something that can be done automatically

big request plz
add the option to disable skiping auctions and just post them at set fallback instead
this is a great auction addon its a pity that half my auctions cant work with it cuaze it forces them at ridiculusly low prices

Originally posted by Shadowed Just double checked, latest version works fine for post cap. Keep in mind post cap will be "reset" if you are undercut.

I just double checked with latest version, and it still posts beyond my post cap -- and no, it's not because I was undercut. Any ideas why this may be occuring? I've even tried disabling all other addons and a fresh install of the addon.
